Rant!

Sorry I need to get this out! I am on vacation with my 9w &19mo with my mom. We are staying at her lake house. It has been raining so we are stuck inside. She refuses to babyproof anything and says he needs to learn "no." Everytime I move something she puts it back. I.e a cup of pens and pencils. I'm not just concerned that he wrote on himself yesterday nut he could run and fall and really hurt himself! I'm nursing my 9w every 2 hours and she still takes 45 mins to eat. I can't follow him all day tellimg him no no no no no! When he does something wrong she glares at me! I am so frustrated and we have 14 days left and I would like if we could babyproof and all enjoy our vacation! My son is never going to want to come back if he associates this place with "NO NO NO NO NO!" Sorry and thanks.

I'm sorry but having a 9w an 19m is hard enough. I would demand to baby proof, as it will not get it through his head to not touch something when your not looking. He could hurt himself when you are nursing or even using the bathroom. She needs to just grow up and realize he is not at the age to understand cause and effect fully.

I know exactly how you feel! I have a 20mo and a 5.5mo, and also nurse. It was so hard in the beginning watching my older one while nursing my younger son. Especially at the grandparents house, with breakables exposed everywhere! I moved things out of reach, but each time we visit I have to move those same things again. I would do what OP are saying - tell your mom to watch him while you nurse. If she refuses to baby proof, or be helpful, I would go home early! I'm sure it's easier at your house! It is at mine! Good luck. Hope things work out so you can relax!

Ya girl, u need to tell ur mother u need help and u need to have the house atleast semi baby proofed.. at least!! If this was my mom I would have already have left and had a mental break down. I agree he needs to learn NO, but on vacation is the last place u want to have to have your son learn.! My goodness... Just tell her u can't handle this.
